Chapter 33 Destruction God Ape
Chapter 33 Destruction God Ape
The first soul skill combines the lightning and fire attributes of the Thunderflame Dragon, driven by destructive power, possessing both the penetrating power of lightning and the scorching power of flames. It has extremely strong single-target burst damage, and leaves a continuous burning damage after hitting the target.
Titan stared at the sea of fire, his large, bell-like eyes filled with shock.
"A soul ring that's 2,300 years old... and it's already formed?" He muttered to himself, then looked at Zi Lingtian, his gaze becoming complicated. "The master is right, this child is indeed extraordinary."
Tang Wutong ran out of her hiding place and stood in front of Zi Lingtian, her large, pinkish-blue eyes scanning him up and down: "Are you alright? Does anything hurt? Is anything bothering you?"
Seeing her nervous expression, Zi Lingtian smiled slightly and said, "It's alright."
Tang Wutong breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at him: "Don't do that again! You actually dared to absorb a 2,300-year-old spirit ring! What if something happened?!"
Zi Lingtian did not refute, but simply nodded.
He knew Tang Wutong was worried about him. This worry was pure, without any calculation or purpose; it was simply a heartfelt concern.
In a world where everyone can be a pawn, this kind of purity is worth cherishing.
"Let's go, let's find the next one." Zi Lingtian stood up and dusted off his robes.
Titan hesitated for a moment: "Should we take a break? We just absorbed a spirit ring, and our bodies need time to adjust."
"No need," Zi Lingtian said. "I'm feeling great, let's continue."
Titan looked into his calm, deep purple eyes, but ultimately said nothing more, and turned to continue leading the way.
Finding the second spirit ring was much more difficult than finding the first.
Zi Lingtian's second soul ring required a soul beast with a pure destruction attribute, preferably over three thousand years old. Such soul beasts were extremely rare on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Titan and his two children had spent most of the day traversing the forest, killing more than a dozen soul beasts that blocked their path, but they still hadn't found one that met their requirements.
It wasn't until evening that Titan's divine sense detected a peculiar aura.
"Over there," Titan pointed in a direction deep in the forest, his expression turning serious. "There's something fighting."
The three followed the scent and found two soul beasts locked in a life-or-death struggle in a devastated open space.
One of them was a gigantic ape, covered entirely in black fur, over three zhang tall, with arms thicker than its legs, and fists covered in bone spurs. Its eyes were blood red, filled with madness and violence, and each punch carried a suffocating aura of destruction.
The other was a slightly smaller golden lion, its body radiating intense light, its mane like burning flames. But it was now covered in wounds, its golden blood staining its entire body, clearly no match for the black giant ape.
"Destruction God Ape!" Titan's pupils constricted sharply. "How did this thing appear on the outskirts?"
Zi Lingtian's gaze fell on the black giant ape, his deep purple eyes shining slightly.
He sensed it—the aura emanating from the giant ape resonated with his Staff of Destruction. It was a pure, unadulterated power of destruction, violent and wild, without any other attributes mixed in.
"Uncle Titan, how many years old is that Destroyer Ape?" Zi Lingtian asked.
Titan squinted for a moment and said, "Around 3,600 years old. This thing is said to have a trace of the bloodline of an ancient beast god, and its combat power far surpasses that of other soul beasts of the same age. Even that golden lion, which was older than it, was beaten like this."
Three thousand six hundred years. Six hundred years longer than the three thousand years that Zi Lingtian had expected.
"This is it," Zi Lingtian said.
Titan didn't object this time. He had already witnessed Zi Lingtian absorbing a 2,300-year-old soul ring and knew that this child couldn't be measured by ordinary standards. Although 3,600 years was even more insane, if Zi Lingtian said it was okay, then let's give it a try.
The Destroyer Ape had completely defeated the Golden Lion. It roared to the sky, its blood-red eyes filled with triumph, then lowered its head, preparing to enjoy its spoils.
Just then, a huge hand reached out from the side and grabbed its neck.
Titan used the same trick again, but this time, the Destruction God Ape did not surrender as obediently as the Thunderflame Dragon. It let out an angry roar, and black destructive power erupted from its body, briefly breaking free from Titan's grasp, and then punched Titan in the face.
Titan dodged to the side, then slapped the Destroyer Ape away, sending it crashing through more than a dozen trees before finally stopping.
"You've got some skill." Titan waved his hand, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
The Destroyer Ape crawled out of the ruins, its blood-red eyes fixed on Titan, letting out a low growl. Several cracks appeared on its body, black blood seeping from them, but it showed no sign of retreating; instead, it became even more frenzied.
It opened its mouth, and black destructive power condensed deep in its throat, forming a constantly compressing ball of energy.
Titan's pupils contracted slightly, and with a wave of his right hand, a massive warhammer appeared in his palm.
"Little Six, step back!" Titan shouted, unleashing a powerful hammer blow.
The warhammer collided with the energy sphere, unleashing a deafening roar. Black destructive power spread in all directions, leveling all the trees within a radius of several hundred feet. Zi Lingtian protected Tang Wutong, retreating to a safe distance, her gaze fixed on the Destruction God Ape.
The destructive power of this soul beast was even purer than he had anticipated.
The battle between Titan and the God of Destruction Ape didn't last long. Although the God of Destruction Ape was powerful, it was ultimately no match for Titan, a 100,000-year-old soul beast. After a few blows, the God of Destruction Ape was left barely alive, black blood flowing everywhere.
"Little Six, come here!"
Zi Lingtian flew out and arrived in front of the Destruction God Ape.
The Destroyer Ape lay on the ground, its blood-red eyes fixed on the small figure before it. In its final moments, the madness and ferocity in its eyes slowly faded, replaced by a sense of...relief.
It sensed the destructive power within Zi Lingtian's body.
That power was purer, deeper, and more irresistible than its own destructive force. Before that power, all its struggles were futile.
It closed its eyes.
Zi Lingtian's hand fell, and the energy blade of the Destruction Scepter pierced the heart of the Destruction God Ape.
A black spirit ring rose from the body of the God of Destruction Ape, deeper and heavier than the purple spirit ring of the Thunder Flame Dragon. The 3,600-year-old spirit ring was encircled by the Scepter of Destruction, its black light reflecting off the purple-gold scepter, emanating a chilling aura.
Zi Lingtian sat down cross-legged and began absorbing his second soul ring.
The pain was more intense this time than the first time.
The destructive power of the God of Destruction Ape was far more ferocious than he had imagined. After that power surged into his meridians, it didn't seem to be merging with him, but rather it seemed to be vying for control—vying for dominance over the destructive power within him. The remnant soul of a 3,600-year-old soul beast roared and struggled within his consciousness, attempting to take over.
